Frequently Asked Questions

On the left bank of the Vltava, a quarter of an hour downstream from Prague. The capital's spires have barely vanished behind the bends before the wooded cliffs close in and this small green town appears. The chateau and its museum are within walking distance of the landing.
The chateau and its museum take an hour to an hour and a half. Add the climb to Levý Hradec, about twenty minutes, or the Silent Valley walk to the Úětice brewery for a half day in nature. The flat riverside path can be walked or cycled towards Prague or northwards.
The Central Bohemian Museum, housed in a former water-ringed fortress that became a Renaissance residence. The collections cover regional life and the building's own evolution, from Gothic chapel to bourgeois salons. One floor recreates the studio of the painter Zdenka Braunerová.
A leading figure in Czech artistic life at the turn of the 20th century, who made Roztoky her refuge and received writers and artists from Prague and Paris there. Her studio is recreated at the chateau, and it is the part of the museum that moves visitors most.
The Christian cradle of Bohemia. This former oppidum of the Přemyslids, the first Czech dynasty, saw the country's first Christian church rise in the 9th century, founded by Prince Bořivoj. St Clement's church, since rebuilt, still occupies the sacred spot, ringed by rampart remains.
About twenty minutes uphill from town, onto the plateau above it. Bring decent shoes. The reward is a wide view over the Vltava valley, the finest viewpoint of the call, and an interpretation trail describing the excavations that uncovered the foundations of the original sanctuary.
Tiché údolí, a group of nature reserves extended by the Úětice brook valley. Easy trails, flowering meadows, rocky outcrops and cool woodland make up a walk Praguers give themselves on Sundays. At the end of the path, the village of Úětice has a craft brewery whose tradition goes back centuries.
The Czech koruna. Cards work at the museum and in cafés; keep some korunas for the Úětice brewery, whose unfiltered beer is served in a friendly courtyard, and for the village festivals in the warm months.
Czech. This is a Prague-fringe municipality, not a tourist stop: English works at the museum and among younger people, far less in the village. French is not spoken.
Yes, provided you accept that it has neither Charles Bridge nor an astronomical clock — and it does not try to. It offers what capitals no longer can: the sound of the river, a hill where Christian Bohemia began, and a glass of beer brewed in the next village.
